I cannot say enough about how incredible Affluent Affairs entire crew was for our wedding. From start to finish, they handled every single detail with such professionalism, grace, ...
and genuine care that I never once felt stressed. The day of our wedding, I didn’t have to lift a single finger — not one! They literally took care of everything.
They were by my side, making sure I was dressed perfectly, bringing me anything and everything I needed, and making me feel like absolute royalty. I truly felt like a queen on my big day, completely free to soak up every special moment, knowing they were quietly (and efficiently!) making magic happen behind the scenes.
Their punctuality and precision are unmatched. Every timeline item flowed flawlessly — not a single hiccup. And let me tell you, they do not let anyone ruin your day. They are fiercely protective of their couples, ensuring that all you feel is joy, excitement, and love — exactly how a wedding day should be.
If you’re in South Carolina — honestly, even if you’re not — do yourself a favor and book them. I would recommend them to the entire state without hesitation. They are rare, remarkable, and worth every single penny. If you’re looking for someone to bring your dream wedding to life while making you feel like the most important person in the world, look no further.
Truly, they didn’t just coordinate a wedding; they created an unforgettable, stress-free, absolutely magical experience that I will treasure forever.

hey took the time to understand our vision and transformed it into something even more magical than we imagined.
Every aspect of our day was meticulously planned and executed, from the flawless timeline to the stunning décor that left our guests in awe. They handled every challenge with grace and ensured we felt stress-free throughout the process. We were thrown some challenges the day of the wedding by the venue. This did not faze Affluent Affairs at all. They adjusted and simply handled it.
Kim and Stacy were more than planners; they were our confidants, cheerleaders, and miracle workers. Their connections with top-tier vendors saved us time and ensured the highest quality for our special day.
Our wedding was seamless, joyful, and unforgettable—all thanks to Kim and Stacy. If you want a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!
